I picked up on my old unit the other night and was transfusing a unit of blood. Special order, btw:imbar Halfway through the transfusion the pump starts alarming "air in line." So I try clamping the blood and flushing line with nss. Didn't help, pump alarmed again. I saw tiny, itty-bitty air bubbles in the tubing so I give the bag a little squeeze to get them through the area that senses for air bubbles....It was like a mass murder in the room. The bag started leaking out of the area where the donor's blood goes into the bag. There was blood on the curtain, blood on my shoes, blood all over the walls and floors. Man, it was bad. I have squeezed those darn bags many times over the last 10 years, never had that happen. Any similar experiences?
